Existence of Two, but not One

Good and bad; Black and white; Ups and downs; for there is one, there will be two. A question that has question many people of why do things coexists in this world, and why can’t it be as simple as one it can only be. Perhaps, this is a question where the answer has already been given to us before us.

For millions of years ago, our planet was formed from the universe then came the other planets as well, most importantly the sun and the moon. Darkness and light have always been there as they serve purposes to all kinds. For it is a creation of the universe that transformed and shaped our world, hence all may have lives and allow the world to breathe. The concept is very simple, in and out as the only way out is to go in and the only way in is to go out from another. Everything serves a purpose in the universe, from little things it may to bigger things around us. The purpose to create and the purpose to destruct, as these are the ways that make the world goes round and develop. That is why our world has never seem to stop improving itself, as to serve purposes by humans as we, humans, always excel ourselves to achieve goals and dreams of our lives because at the end of the day it is still up to us to understand the purposes of all that we desire to know.

As often as it is, people would feel happy and sad at times depending on the situation. A friend of mine, the lovely girl, she asked me why can’t people just feel happy throughout their lives and not bother to be sad, and why does happiness exist at all where as why can’t humans just don’t have feelings. Human beings are complicated and sophisticated creatures and as unique as it is. We can think and feel everything around us for we are the creation of the universe, which is why there is male and female species coexist to produce more and more human beings. No one is ever perfect indeed, as we were born and not made by machines, yet true perfection comes from imperfection. Hence, we are capable of being emotional, sentimental, intellectual and logically mistakable. Of course, the two main core organs that have allow us to evolve and live are our hearts and brains. The brain, as we all know, controls all the functions of the body and also processes our intellectual thinking in order for us to do things everyday and live our lives. The heart is as simple as it seems as it acts like a generator that pumps blood throughout our body as to circulate bloods in our body, yet the heart is sophisticated as it produces feelings.

My good friend, Margo from Scotland who studied philosophy before, then gave me questions regarding the heart. Her questions were indeed remarkable as I would say as it truly compelled me to dig for the truth within my heart, as she asked why are feelings there as the heart is only muscle tissues that pumps blood, and when dissected you can’t see what seem to produce the feelings we feel yet how can anyone explain the existence of the feelings we feel today, as it is invincible at all. According to my own true that I dug out from my heart, the heart produces feelings that we do not see yet it can be felt and seen through the emotions of our appearances. We feel happy, sad, pleasure, satisfactions, anger, hatred, etc. Yet these are the feelings that have given out from the heart, as we all can feel it. It is the soul of our spirit that is being placed deeply within ourselves, for it is not to be taken away by anyone but ourselves. It is just like the sun, as we can see how bright the sun shine is but yet we also feel the heat given out by it as that is the energy of the sun. Thus, the concept of the sun is similar to the heart as the feelings we have within us as the powers to our lives as they are the energies for us to live with purposes. These energies coexist in many ways as they serve different purposes, because the world has different kinds of elements that we have to live with. Some circumstances are challenges to our lives, and the feelings we have serve as the energies to help us and drive us as to overcome the challenges. So as the victory we have would be an inspiration to many, while failures would also serve as a lesson to be learn for improvement and acknowledgement. Thus, the coexistence of two different opposite kinds would often help us and benefit us to live our lives in progression to a better tomorrow. We may thank God and the universe for all the creations, depending on what one believes, as they are the reason why we all exist today.

In ancient times, many have tried to understand the coexistence of many things in this world. It is because they wished to learn and understand more about the world. So as we still are learning today, as it has been an infinite and endless journey of education. To learn is to know, for to know is to understand, and to understand is to realize the existence and the purpose that it serves a great deal to the world. For one another, as it benefits us and harms us in many different ways. Yet, no matter whether it is happy or sad, pain or pleasure, easy or hard, love or hatred, we are only humanly to have all these because we are the beings that on this planet and evolve the world.
